New Trends Help Spur Aquatic Interest in India

Indians are finding new ways to love aquatics this summer. Recent media reports point to a surge in the popularity of Western-style aquatic workouts, everything from aqua zumba to kickboxing. The Times of India and The New Indian Express pointed to the fun and physical benefits of exercising in the pool. A separate article in The Times of India also pointed to a new trend in Bollywood. In what would surely make the late Esther Williams and Busby Berkeley proud, several recent Hindi films have featured elaborate underwater scenes.
